So your job is to whine on forums about how they’re run out of ideas, but then when asked about what new ideas you’d be looking for as a consumer, have nothing to share? Got it.I'm the customer. Creating new designs for iPhones isn't my job.

My friend had a white iPhone 5C and I did love the feel in hand. I didn’t mind the polycarbonate material. I actually appreciated it. It felt like it could take a beating and scratching. And, I agree, the shape felt great in the hand. I loved the 5S’ feel in hand, too, but I think the ever so slight curve of the 5C’s back was more comfortable to hold, and more grippy than the 5S. It is unfortunate that Apple hasn’t focused more on the grippiness of its phones from the iPhone 6 to the 11, choosing form over function, once again. I hope that the return to flat edges and a smaller design (5.4” model) will make this much easier to hold and grip in the hand.Naturally design is totally subjective, but although I love the iPhone 4 as the best industrial design Apple ever made, I've always felt the humble 5C had the best ergonomic design. A soft rounded back where your palm rests and squared front which let the screen run closer to the edge.
Of course everyone hated it because it was 'cheap and plastic', but in my opinion the functionality of it was excellent.
